Re: June COTM **WINNER**
that interior is really awesome. I feel my car is too simple to win any COTM and besides it doesn't seem very predictable if there is one or not?

Re: June COTM **WINNER**
Wish I had been online when this when on. Totally would have voted for you dude. I've seen this car in person. It's pretty freaking sick. So is the guy who drives it but that's a different story

Re: June COTM **WINNER**
Holy friggin sleeper, that "formula 350"'must bring shame and tears to just about anything else on the road. I know I would want to return my vette if I got toasted by what looks to be a very clean but stock looking thirdgen bird.

Congrats Kevin!
It truly is a beautiful ride, I've seen it several times in person. It turns everyone's' head when it comes rolling in to a meet!
One 89 Formula to another!

this is my favorite ever third gen. it is my "go to" in argument of what a 3rd gen can be - looks and performance.

Re: June COTM **WINNER**
i'm assuming those wheels are custom made for this car??? i always thought that this car was corprately sponsored by Hawks. maybe it was just the YouTube video was sponsored by Hawks.
as i said, this is my all-time favorite 3rd gen, and maybe the "best car" i've seen, period.

Re: June COTM **WINNER**
want me to PM you pics and tech?
are those Torque Thrusts on your car? do they require spacers? i like my Formula wheels, but not the limitations on brake upgrades and tire options. Torque Thrusts arent the style i would want on my car, i dont think, but still curious as to whats out there.

for the semi-chronological experience that i intended, you should start at the end of the album and work your way back.

Re: June COTM **WINNER**
mine too. i think they're the same. but then maybe there is a slight difference. Maui Blue may have hints of green, where ours have hints of purple. but people commonly refer to the shade as Maui Blue.
